Dear Monsignor/Father,
October 17-18 marks our 17th annual Pew Count Saturday/Sunday. Since this has become a national practice, the Diocese is often asked for statistics from our “October count.” Please make every effort to have designated ministers count the attendance on that weekend.
Would you kindly use the following form to make your report? Please instruct those who are counting the congregation to include children, babies, liturgical ministers, i.e. all souls present in the church. Please feel free to record observations/comments in the empty box. For example, you may want to note any live-streamed Masses.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rev. Nicholas Desimone
